For over 15 years, Bonjour-santé has been making it easier for patients across Quebec to get the healthcare they need. Our mission? To help you quickly and easily get the right care, at the right time, with the right healthcare professional.
With over 5 million users each year, Bonjour-santé has become a go-to resource for booking medical appointments and accessing a wide range of health services.
Clearing things up: Is Bonjour-santé a free or paid service?
There’s sometimes confusion about which Bonjour-santé services are free and which are part of a membership. Some people mistakenly believe it’s a fully paid service, but that’s not the case at all.
Bonjour-santé is a locally owned company based in Boucherville, offering free medical appointment search services for patients, as well as technological solutions for medical clinics across Quebec.
In addition, an entirely optional paid membership is available for those who want access to complementary health services directly through our platform.
Let’s break it down.
Bonjour-santé’s free services
Medical appointment search
Finding an appointment with a family doctor or a walk-in appointment should never be complicated. With Bonjour-santé, you can search for appointments anytime, completely free, 24/7.
- With your family doctor
- At a clinic near you for a minor emergency (or if you don’t have a family doctor)
A free AI health assistant, available 24/7
Have a health-related question or symptoms that are concerning you? BonsAi, our intelligent health assistant, is here to help you better understand your situation, free of charge, 24/7.
Chat with BonsAi directly from the Bonjour-santé homepage. Simply describe your symptoms or ask your question. BonsAi analyses your situation, helps you understand possible causes and guides you towards the best option for what to do next. BonsAi can provide:
- Possible causes for the symptoms you have described (with a probability percentage)
- Personalised care recommendations, whether that means seeing a doctor, nurse, pharmacist, specialist or another healthcare professional; BonsAi’s goal is to direct you to the most appropriate professional based on your condition
- Self-care advice when it determines that you can manage your condition at home; these recommendations may sometimes include videos created by healthcare professionals to provide additional guidance
- Guidance towards the appropriate services, based on the urgency and your needs
- Help finding and booking an appointment, directly within the conversation
BonsAi was designed for the realities of Quebec’s healthcare system. Rather than leaving you to search the internet for general answers (like Dr Google), it helps you find concrete healthcare options near you.
